This is a pastel demonstration piece I executed at Spalding House for my Painting the Model en Plein Aire class last week.
Our topic that day was “Selection and Emphasis”…the idea that one must select from what Nature presents according to your priorities, and then appropriately simplify. Every element must be considered and it’s value to your picture determined, much will need to be eliminated, and what is left must be simplified and refined.
